A great story this is but I expect that the war events mentioned actually happened to many of the men of the services in WW1,and of course in subsequent wars.
You handle time well; and the references to an ex-soldier are spot on as far as I can see.
Thank you

Kindly ignore "a joke" in comments, as one can always tell the jealous poseurs from the stench freely emanating.
This is the first of Lit's non-erotic stories I've read; I must say it is very good. Thanks for taking the time. I wish you luck!
In this story, the window cleaner is Roger Bird, and he has a son named Art. In "Blue-Eyed Nurses", the narrator is Roger Bird, and he has a son named Bobby. Does Roger have more than one child, or is this just a continuity error between two stories? Or should each "Roger Bird" be considered a separate character?
My apologies, Anonymous for confusing you. No, the two Roger Birds are unconnected and hadn't realised I had used the name twice. I generally select names from the 6500 in my family tree, and in various combinations. Some names appear solid and reliable and others a bit flighty, so I pick and mix as required.
..... through war & peace.
A simple tale of life long relationships. Quite enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing.
An intelligent apresentation of vignettes that tell a tremendous amount story.
Realistic story and well researched (I assume.) Like your writing style.
